ing. Mr. and Mrs. Eduard Scholtz
celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversa
ry of their marriage.
When one looks forward twenty

look back over a quarter of a century,
it is but a happy day. Newberry has
no more charming hostess than Mr-s.
Scholtz. no more genial host than Mr.
Scholtz. and their silver wedding on
Frida. evening was the occa'sion of
one of the mst brilliant social oath
erings whic' Newberry has seen in
years.
The grove surrounding the home
was brilliantly lighted with Japanese
lanterns, and the broad avenue made,
as it were, a triumphal arch. OAe
large table and three small tables
were arranged to form a large cross,
and an elegant dinner was served.
Over the door a large transparency
bore the figures -i88o-1905." Mrs.
Scholtz was a Miss Parks. of New

over the parlor door in silver tinsel
was "i8o-I905."
The home was beautifully decorated
V..:h roses and rare pot plants.
The presents received by Mr. and
Mrs. Scholtz were numerous and
handso're.
It is needless to say that the oc
casion was enjoyed to the utmost by
the more than sixty guests who were
present, every one of w1hom wish
that Mr. and Mrs. Scholtz may pass
many more mile stones along the
pathway of life in happiness together.

During his superintendency thet
school ': almost doubled. and the

is largely the result of his efforts.

Set Up A Standard.
Dr. Wmn. H-ayne Leavell preached a
very able and a very timely sermon
t t-h.e First Baptist church on Sun
day morning. t
It was out of the ordinary but very
pplicable to the day and generation
n which we live and we wish every
one in Newberry could have heard it.
It was a plea for a higher standardj
f life and for a standard measured
y the rule set by Christ himself. For
higher standard in business, in so
iety and everywhere. A man should
not be measured by the dollars he has
accumulated nor a woman by the ap
parel she dons but by the character
possessed. the service rendered and t
the capacity for rendering it.
Dr. Leavell is graceful in delivery. ~
elonent in speech and plain in Ian- '
tuage andI( in our judgment one of
the finest pulpit orators we have ever
heard.
His sermon at night was also timely.
t was a pka for the simple life and
to get away from the shams of which
there are so many.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Thomas A. Edison had finished an
automobile tour of Pennsylvania and
was condemning the Pennsylvania
road, which he declared tEo be the
worst in the country.
The topics of roads led naturally
to the topic of traction, and Mr. Edi
son recalled a Fijian who had once
inspected a railway with him.
Mr. Edison took the Fijian all over
a ra. .d yard and described every
thing. A railroad lecture two hours
long was poured into the chieftain's
ears.
"At the end the usual question,
'Now do you understand?' was asked,
and the Fijian nodded in assent.
"But at the same time he pointed
to a freight that was sliding back
and forih in front of him, the loco
motive first pulling the train up the
track and then pushing it down again.
" ' understand everything,' said
the Fijian. 'One point, though, is
not quite clear. Look at that freight
train over there. :Now I understand
perfectly how the locomotive pulls
the cars down the track, but I can
not comprehend .how the cars pull
the locomo'rive up.' '
